The Problem
Posted on 02/26/2015 7:06:00 AM PST by SeekAndFind
The President continued his amnesty tour this week with a stop in Florida. His remarks, both to the crowd during his speech and during an interview with MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart, were rife with the usual “blame the GOP” rhetoric and defenses of the amnesty actions he himself declared beyond his constitutional authority. But he was asked by audience members and his media interviewer as well about why some people were still being deported. His answer was revealing.
MR. DIAZ-BALART: But what are the consequences? Because how do you ensure that ICE agents or Border Patrol won’t be deporting people like this? I mean, what are the consequences
THE PRESIDENT: José, look, the bottom line is, is that if somebody is working for ICE and there is a policy and they don’t follow the policy, there are going to be consequences to it. So I can’t speak to a specific problem. What I can talk about is what’s true in the government, generally.
This was no slip of the tongue. During the live Q&A he took a similar question from a woman in the crowd and told her, there are going to be some jurisdictions, and there may be individual ICE officials or Border Patrol, who aren’t paying attention to our new directives. There are going to be consequences.
We just published a link yesterday to the recent DHS mandate which was issued, breaking down illegal aliens into three categories and basically telling officers to ignore the third – and largest – category. But the difference there was that it was buffered with the language of saying, in essence, sure… we’d like to deport them all. But since we can’t you need to use your judgement and just go after the worst of the worst.
This, however, is something new. You could pretty much justify saying that you don’t have enough agents and they should prioritize their work. But even then the memorandum acknowledged that all of them were criminals and should be arrested and deported if only we had the manpower. Obama has now ramped it up to the next level and said that if you do happen to run across any category 3 illegals and you happen to pick them up as well, there will be consequences.
If you do your job, we’re coming to get you. So don’t get any funny ideas about deporting anyone who might possibly qualify for amnesty. If I were working on the Border Patrol, I’d be feeling pretty unmotivated to get out of my truck at this point.
Bullying and intimidation

Do we lack the federal authority to carry out federal requirements or is it just a lack of balls? Surely our Founding Fathers has a plan for this destructive nonsense and those who carry it out. We are being steam rolled and most seem to be taking it like the Jews running into Nazi trenches to be buried alive. Truly beyond belief and comprehension.
...And still hasn’t claimed to love America. I wonder why.< off sarc>
Everyone talks about how illegal most things Obama does has become...Nobody does anything about it...Until we get rid of the cowards in Congress and get rid of unAmerican politicians in our government, we can only sit back and watch this country go down the tubes...
The Problem
Too bad there aren’t consequences for blackmailing SCOTUS and Congress and giving aid to our enemies.
They certainly did.
They knew that usurpers, traitors and posers would appear and they advised us on ways to deal with them effectively.
But but but he loves America!
The fifth mission, Johnson said, is to strengthen national preparedness and resilience so the country can prepare and respond to any type of disaster.
Note to the Republicans: “Get the 67 votes lined up and IMPEACH this anti-american Marxist Muslim sympathizer before you have nothing left in the way of a job or a country!”
yea theconsequences will be obammmm muzzie cia chief sending isis hit squads
Why should any future President, regardless of Party, listen to that political body anymore? They have been neutered by O'Bastard. It's not like once cut off balls will grow back.
They’re go to expend more energy identifying the ICE agents that are doing their job according to the law than they would ever care to give to the “immigration problem.”
Soon they (Jeh johnson for obama) will trot out for the cameras the faces of the first offenders. Those people will be an example to the rest of the ICE agents who were thinking of protecting their country, that they (obama and Jeh Johnson) mean what they say.
Aren’t there laws ON the books that the ‘President’ has overlooked and ordered agents to OVERLOOK?
How does that work?
Wonder if he knows there will be consequences for doing his job another noose for his party.
This would allow them to enforce the law as written and not the illegal acts they are being pressured into committing.
The states and immigration employees should ask for a consent decree effectively stripping Obama of control over the immigration branch of DHS, the same way the eco-kooks strip the interior department of control over Federal lands.
Indeed one party two names.
0's eyes are dark and soulless, "like a doll's eyes" to quote Quint from "Jaws".
Boner, I'm not sure what to think. Just a plain ol' drunk, way out of his depth, maybe?
Turtle-man in particular has the eyes and the face of a tormented soul, IMO. Could it be because of all that power and all that money, and still someone else pwns him?
PING!
